A UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOHN MOA. JONES, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM ALLEN, OE SAME PLACE.

TOY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,079, dated September 16, 1884.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN McA. JoNEs, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toys,which improvement is fully set forth inthe following specification and accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a side elevation of a toy embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section thereof,

enlarged, in line 90 m, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

My invention consists of a whistle and a string connected therewith for whirling the same, the whistle-chamber being encircled by a rim which cuts the air, so that two different sounds will be produced.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a whistle, to which is attached a string or cord, B. The whistle is formed of metal, of the central chambered portion, a, and the peripheral rim b, said portion a being perforated, as at c. In the rim 1) is an opening, (1, whereby said cord B may be secured to the whistle, but in lieu of said opening I may use an eye, or other device for a similar purpose.

It will be seen that when the whistle is whirled by means of the string it is blown,

the sound thereof being accompanied by the different sound produced by the rim 1) cutting the air; hence an interesting toy is produced.

The toy is made of two pieces or disks of metal, which are struck up centrally, and one disk is of greater diameter 'than'the other, so that its periphery may be flanged and bent over the periphery of the other disk, as at e, whereby the two disks are firmly connected, and the toy is strong and durable. 40

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The whistle consisting of a chambered portion with perforated walls, and a peripheral rim encircling said chambered portion, in combination with a string attached to said rim, forming an improved toy, as stated.

2. A toy consisting of a whistle with a pcripheral rim formed of two disks centrally struck up and perforated, one of the disks having a flange which is bent over the other disk, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
